Linux 2.6.16.18

From: Chris Wright
Date: Mon May 22 2006 - 15:10:48 EST


We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.16.18
kernel. Fix for possible Netfilter SNMP NAT remote DoS (CVE-2006-2444).

The diffstat and short summary of the fixes are below.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.16.17 and 2.6.16.18, as it is small enough to do so.

The updated 2.6.16.y git tree can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.16.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
www.kernel.org/git/

thanks,
-chris
